[Gasification] Tilapia of all things! They don't make gas!

[Ken Calvert]

Good Lord above!  I will bet that whoever thinks that Tilapia are the answer 
has never tried to eat one.  They have more bones than flesh, and  the only 
way you can fatten them is to  feed them hormones to chop out their 
sexuality so that they can't breed in millions.  So, don't bother with a 
vasectomy, just eat lots of tilapia!
Heh Fella's, lets stick with  gasification!   Ken Calvert.
